The Canadian province of Alberta is divided into multiple sets of regions for different purposes. Different sets of regions include economic regions, planning regions and tourism regions. Statistics Canada also delineates the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor as a statistically significant region within the national context. The cities of Calgary and Edmonton also centre their own regions, which are considered metropolitan sub-regions of the North Saskatchewan and South Saskatchewan planning regions respectively.
